Root Ulefone S8 Pro (Newbie!)

Hello. Hope someone can please help. I'm trying to install TWRP on my Ulefone S8 Pro. I've done something like unlock the bootloader so far with ABD. At boot I now get a message saying 'Orange State. Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted' then the phone proceeds to boot up OK and all is fine. However I want to install TWRP so I can flash a Magisk Zip to root the phone (I hope that makes sense) !.

What is my next move please. I can't seen to find a compatible TWRP for a start and I'm not sure how to flash Magisk Zip to root phone without it.

Thank you so much!

That's going to be a problem, because TWRP hasn't been built for this particular phone. This is a rather unknown China phone with a Mediatek MTK SoC. and that basically means it's pretty much impossible any developers to make any custom builds for this phone, like TWRP. And I'm pretty sure you can't load Magisk without a custom recovery.

Thanks for the reply. So I've got no chance of rooting this phone?
